Inspired by Italian architecture with an eye on the future, Cosentino’s Dekton Pietra Kode collection reimagines classic stones into contemporary beauty and high-performance
Captured by classical Roman buildings and the fine sculpture of Michelangelo and Bernini, the beauty of Italian stones can be nothing short of awe-inspiring. Inspired by this, Cosentino Group, the Spanish global leader in surfaces, working with renowned designer and architect Daniel Germani, is introducing Dekton Pietra Kode.
A high-performance, ultra-compact stone collection, Pietra Kode reinterprets the timeless beauty of classic Italian stones. These antique natural stones are deconstructed and then recoded into Dekton, an innovative material that offers extreme performance and unique design.

Each colour breathes contemporary elegance into the design, with the rich shades and textures creating a sensory experience beyond what the eye can see.
While the beauty of each piece is mesmerising, realising them in carbon-neutral Dekton allows the collection to be used in a virtually limitless range of indoor and outdoor applications, offering the look of Italian stone without any of its drawbacks.

A repeat collaborator of Cosentino, Germani has also designed for brands such as Gandia Blasco and Riva 1920.
For Pietra Kode, the designer channelled the influence of Vicenza stone, travertine, and Milan’s iconic Ceppo di Gré stone on Italian architecture over the centuries.

Travertine Kode reinvents the stone which Rome's iconic Colosseum is made of in two hues.
Sabbia reinterprets Italian Travertine in an organic pattern, making it perfect for rustic environments while Marmorio takes cues from Travertino Navona, a natural stone found east of Rome with an elegant and lightweight iteration.
